I've never liked the character to be honest, but I do respect that he was making a name for himself, had a successful youtube show going and was moving merch.

Unfortunately in WWE, that kind of stuff will get you punished.

There was a note on Funkasaurus in there too.

In a big surprise, Vince McMahon made the call to take Clay off television, feeling his ring work wasn't good enough. This is the guy who made money headlining some of the crappiest main event workers in history. Apparently it was a match with Slater that was taped and pulled from Smackdown that did him in.
